Mardi Gras Cruise
OVERVIEW
Sailing out of New Orleans for the first time, this couples-only lifestyle cruise blends big energy and revelry with one of the world's most iconic celebrations. Departing the Saturday before Mardi Gras 2028 and returning on the Friday just before Fat Tuesday, this perfectly timed sailing puts you right at the center of it all. Join us for a sexy, immersive carnival experience filled with sensual encounters and tropical escapes to Cozumel and Costa Maya. If you've ever wanted to experience Mardi Gras, this is your moment. It is festive, indulgent and designed to keep the party flowing from embarkation to the final night... and after, with a hotel takeover in the heart of Mardi Gras. This will be a one-of-a-kind landmark event for the Bliss community.
Cozumel, Mexico
Spice up your swingers cruise in a Mexican paradise.
Cozumel brings sun-drenched beauty, easy island energy and the kind of Caribbean backdrop that makes every moment feel a little sexier. Spend the day soaking in turquoise water, lounging by the shore, exploring colorful local spots or slipping into vacation mode with a cold drink and nowhere to rush off to. It is the perfect blend of tropical freedom and playful escape before another unforgettable night back on board.
Costa Maya, Mexico
Find yourself dripping in sun-kissed relaxation and sensual serenity.
Costa Maya offers a more laid-back kind of temptation with soft coastal charm, bright blue water and plenty of ways to savor the day your way. Explore beach clubs, discover local flavor, wander the shoreline or simply settle in and enjoy a slower, more sensual pace before the energy builds again that night. It is relaxed, beautiful and made for couples who want a little adventure without losing the easy Bliss flow.
Theme Nights & Entertainment
Stay Tuned, There's More to Be Revealed Soon
The full details are just around the corner. Theme nights, featured entertainment and curated excursions for this sailing will be announced soon, adding even more to look forward to.
